addition to the 1.1 GW conditional order received in H2 2025. Nordex aims to return to

in 2020-21 to above $70/MWh currently in the US. Better pricing has been translating

into higher returns in US renewables. We see the contribution of US orders as an upside

risk to our estimates, which do not include sizeable US additions to reflect the increased
